About This Pub
Ah, The County in Northampton is one of those pubs that really pulls you in with its hearty offerings and that classic British pub charm. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food stands out as a real winner – think mouthwatering roasts and well-presented meals that leave you satisfied, perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates or even a special occasion like a work do. It's got that high rating going for it, which speaks to plenty of positive vibes and memorable experiences shared by visitors. On the other hand, it's not all smooth sailing; I've heard a few grumbles about the service dragging on, with one person mentioning it took over 45 minutes for their meal, so if you're in a rush, it might not be the best pick. There was also that off-putting tale of a cheeky barman who wasn't exactly welcoming, and the noise when it's packed can make it feel a tad chaotic. Still, if you're up for a laid-back afternoon or evening with good grub, I'd say give it a go – just keep your expectations in check and enjoy the good bits!

Came here on a night out last year, barman (who was about 17) was mouthy and rude , I’d be surprised if he’s still there but not a great vibe overall anyway
Best Roast I've ever eaten
Food was OK, but takes forever to come out. Been there for 2.5 hours and takes 45 mins for any meal to come out.
If you are looking to go for lunch, ensure you allow all afternoon.
"We had the most amazing time at The County for our staff Christmas do! The food was absolutely incredible, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. It was such a memorable experience, and we’re already looking forward to returning. Highly recommend!"
We had a group Christmas dinner here last week and although the pub was very busy and noisy, we had superb food. It was all delicious, hot and nicely presented. My congratulations to ask the staff, we had a great time!
